"Hey um lets go somewhere else. It's a little too loud for me."
"Yeah it is pretty loud in here."
Malfoy takes her hand and they go outside. Sophia notices a dark figure behind them and whispers to him, "What's behind us?"
"What do you mean, Sophia?"
"Look," she says pointing at the dark figure.
Draco looks back and looks in terror, "its V-Voldemort," quickly takes her hand as they run, "I'm not supposed to be with you."
"What do you mean? Does Voldemort have some sort of beef with me?"
"That's one reason I can't be with you…and you are a…half-blood."
They hide behind a tree in the forbidden forest.
"Look Sophia, you have to go and get out of here. Please."
"I can't leave you out here with my brother's enemy. He could kill you."
He looks down saying, "He's not going to hurt me."
"Why wouldn't he?"
"Well…my father works for the dark lord. He wants to make me a death eater."
"You obviously said no right?"
"Before I met you no, but now I regret that," as he shows Sophia the dark mark on his arm, "I am the one who's supposed to kill you so Harry will be vulnerable."
The young girl is at the verge of tears, "Malfoy."
"That was before I fell in love with you, but I don't know how to get out of it. You have to go."
"You were going to kill me? I never did anything to you."
"I wasn't even thinking about killing you. I don't even like injuring people," the blonde says trying to console Sophia, "I love you too much and you have to go. I sense his presence."
"I do too, but I can't leave you."
Voldemort points the wand at Sophia and then Draco.
"Please don't hurt him…kill me."
"Well Draco's been a very bad boy and he needs to be punished. Partly because he helped you…a half-blood, but it would be nice if I killed you; you would make a nice little inferi. You are such a powerful witch; I do not think anything could stop you."
"Don't scare her like that!"
"Malfoy? You dare speak to me like that?"
He points the wand still at Sophia.
"I could just kill your beautiful girlfriend so you have nothing to fight for against me."
"I would since you would have killed her. I would have a lot against you."
"True, but she would really make a great inferi."
"Go ahead…kill me."
"See Draco, she is alright with dying. You should let it go. Avadakadavra!"
Draco gets in front of the curse protecting Sophia, but killing him. Voldemort looks a little shaken.
"Shame…he would have made a great death eater."
Sophia's terrified eyes turn into great rage, "You killed him! You are dead to me!"
"What's a little half-blood going to do," he questions and disappears into smoke.
She starts shaking violently as tears well up into her eyes while she is holding Malfoy.
"You didn't have to protect me! You could have just let him kill me, Draco," she says screaming in agony.
The trio goes out looking for Sophia and they see her in the forbidden forest crying.
"Sophia?"
"Harry! Draco's dead! Voldemort killed him will he was protecting me," her voice almost lost for words, "I can't believe he's that cold-hearted."
"H-he protected you?"
"Yes he's not as bad as you thought he was."
"I know that now. Oh Malfoy."
Harry goes out of his way to carry the young blonde into the dance while people are staring, crying, and chatting about it. He puts him on the table and calls everyone for attention.
"Draco Malfoy has been killed by Voldemort while he was protecting my sister and it will only be right for me to show him some respect. He didn't have to protect my sister, but he did. I vow on his grave that I will kill Voldemort even if it means killing me."
Sophia's still crying with her hands over his heart and tears landing on him. A blue light expels from her hands.
"W-what's going on," she says as the blue light disappears.
Draco's eyes open up, "Sophia," he says smiling at her.
Everyone looks at Sophia in surprise.
"Draco? You're alive," she says smiling, "You're alive!"
"And why am I on this table? And why is everyone staring at you? What happened?"
"Harry brought you in…you died and somehow came back to life."
"From now on I don't mind you dating my sister. You saved her life. You deserve her."
He warms up a little inside, "Thanks a lot Harry," he says as he holds out his hand to Harry. This time he took his hand and took him off the table.
"Sophia, you were the one that brought him back."
"Sophia, you saved me," he asked smiling.
"I don't know. I-I"
"You did save him sis. Don't be modest."
"I still would be dead if it wasn't for you."
Sophia hugs him, "I was so scared you were gone forever."
Professor McGonagall looks at Sophia surprised, "My dear, how did you do that? It's impossible for a wizard...even us mature wizards to bring anyone back to life."
"I-I don't know. I didn't even know what that blue light was."
"She's half mermaid," Draco states proudly, "I have been researching about mermaids lately; they have a special power where they can bring someone they love back to life."
All the people in the castle exclaim in surprise about Sophia being half mermaid.
"You know more about me than I know myself Draco," she says looking at him in awe.
"That's what boyfriends are for," he smirks.
"I love you Draco."
"I love you Sophia Potter," he says as he kisses her.
